In summary, deposition under nuxed activation-diffusion control causes the formation of a number of growth forms and the increase of surface coarseness, this increase being more pronounced at higher current densities. It should be noted that electrodeposition at a periodically changing rate can change considerably the morphology of the deposits [13, 25].

It was shown earlier that at sufficiently high frequencies, the average current density in electrodeposition at a periodically changing rate produces the same concentration distribution inside the diffusion layer as a constant current density of the same intensity. Hence, Eq. (4.76) is valid for all cases of electrodeposition at a constant and periodically changing rate at sufficiently high frequencies.

It is necessary to note that effects on morphology of powdered deposits similar to those obtained by the use of more solutions of different CUSO4 and H2SO4 concentrations can be attained by the use of the only one solution if electrodeposition processes were performed at a periodically changing rate.
